Property Description for 201 West 16th Street, 9-A
Perched on the ninth floor of a classic Art Deco cooperative, this two-bedroom, two-bath pre-war residence offers a quiet, confident sense of elegance. From the moment you enter the gracious foyer, the home opens into a corner living room with high beamed ceilings, original strip oak floors, and generous proportions that easily accommodate both daily life and formal dining.
The kitchen, thoughtfully reimagined by its architect-artist owner, strikes a smart balance of beauty and utility—with high-end appliances, sleek built-ins, and a west-facing bistro nook perfectly placed to catch the glow of the setting sun over the Hudson.
Both bedrooms are spacious and serene, split up on the floor plan and a nod to an era when homes were designed with room to breathe. Original prewar details remain throughout, including vintage subway tile and classic black-and-white mosaic floors in both bathrooms—one of which is blessed with a rare west-facing window. New double-paned casement windows enhance the tranquility, while abundant closets make daily living feel effortlessly composed. With triple exposures to the west, south, and north, the layout is suffused in light from every angle.
The building is a well-tended prewar classic, featuring a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, bike storage, laundry, and a wood-paneled elevator that feels like a Manhattan time capsule in the best possible way.
This is the kind of apartment that rarely comes to market—not just well-located, but well-made.
Please note: Pets are permitted, and pied-a-terre and co-purchases are case by case.

Quick Profile
The row houses portray the world-class architecture of Greek Revival, Italianate and Georgian styles. The population is both ethnically and socially diverse, which is reflected in the restaurants and retail businesses in the neighborhood.
Western Chelsea is the center of the NYC art world, where you will find more than 200 art galleries housed in rehabbed factories and warehouses, as well as in newly-constructed buildings.
While people of many different cultures call Chelsea home, it has been a mecca over the years for people in the LGBTQ community. One census reported that as many as 22% of its residents were gay couples. Eighth Avenue is a trendy area for LGBTQ-oriented dining and shopping. Although it no longer draws the LGBTQ population that it once did, Chelsea still has many popular alternative bars.
Chelsea is primarily residential, consisting of a mixture of diverse complexes, low-rise apartment blocks, tenements, townhouses, renovated row houses, and luxury high-rises.
Chelsea is an interesting and sought-after place to live, with unique clothing boutiques, restaurants, and delis representing cultures from around the world. In addition to its quirky establishments, Chelsea has fine dining restaurants and a vibrant, hip nightlife, which adds to its allure.
Chelsea is well-served by public transportation. At least six city bus routes traverse Chelsea. There are three NYC subway routes with stops on Seventh Avenue, three on Eighth Avenue, and two more on Sixth Avenue. The 34th Street - Hudson Yards Station opened in 2015 with its main entrance in Chelsea.
